The new financial cash policy of President Mohammed Buhari prompted the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) to inform all players to open an account with Nigerian banks to receive their bonuses. “We have been asked to open foreign currency accounts with a bank where our bonuses will now be paid,” a player informed AfricanFootball.com This new development will take effect from next month’s World Cup qualifier against Djibouti or Swaziland. The direction is in line with President Muhammadu Buhari’s new financial policy as it concerns foreign currencies. Before now, the Eagles and other national teams were paid their bonuses in cash. Former Minister of Sports, Tammy Danagogo, flew to Brazil last year during the World Cup with over $3million, to pay the team appearance bonuses.
